So you ll not forget THESE choice candids reveal a striking view of the large imposing structure we so proudly call Lincoln High School. They do not reveal, however, the teeming activity within-the twofthousand students, the halffhundred faculty members and executives who make it their livelihood for nine months of every year and the thousand and one joys, sorrows, and secrets that course through its veins causing this impassive structure to seethe with mixed emotions which the ordinary passerby does not perceive. Yet, upon closer scrutiny, the public does share our teeming activities. During the past school term, hundreds of interested athletic followers watched our Wolverines fight to victory or defeat. Many dramaticallyfminded citizens came to enjoy the productions of our Thespians. Several thous' and music lovers thronged through this doorway to the auditorium to listen to well-executed renditions of great classic music by one hundred and eighty band members of the MidfWestern Music Association. These-all these are the outward performances enjoyed by the ordinary passerby. But to the understanding observer within-the impressions made by classroom discussions between teacher and students, the real ties of friendship and confidences of classfmatesg the silent dreams and plans made by boys and girls in idle moments-these are the influences which will make Lincoln High students take their places honorably in future conquests at home and abroad. .

We Honor . Our Defenders Ellwood City Honor Roll April3,1944 . . . 20-19names, 18 in gold. CENTRALLY located on our main street stands a beautifully illuminated Honor Roll-our Honor Roll we can call it, because a large portion of the twofthousand names are Lincoln High graduates. They went when duty called: To Africa and Italy, to England, to Alaska even to the far distant islands of the Paciizic. Short months ago, it seems to us, these names-our boys-played on Wolverine teams, laughed at old jokes, worked on Math problems for hours and hours and jived at school parties. They went that we might continue to enjoy these pleasures of our everyday routine. We like to think that Lincoln High School has had a definite influence on each boy's life. We like to know that when a Lincoln High boy is home for a few days leave, he plans to see his friends and teachers and to roam the halls again. Or we like to learn from a boy's letter that his thorough knowledge of Chemistry is helping him in a Chemical Warfare Course, or his remembrance of a literary map in Adventures in English is helping him to enjoy his five day furlough in England. Yes, we read the long rows of names, some friends, some brothers and reading them, we Wish them well. Some have been killed and eighteen gold plaques mark their places-we halt in reading and are solemn, and reverent. And so, may we resolve, like them, to do our part: be it humble or great-here or on far flung battle fronts. if 'k 'k ik ir 'Ir 'A' 'lr 'k 'Ir uk 'A'
